How much time do you spend on the phone at work?

Way over

Over, most of the time.

Having a job that involves running batch processes or setting up testing leads to a lot of down time.

Running bills or printing letters, even in a test environment, potentially means hours before the process completes and you can inspect the one thing you are looking for.


It isn’t helped by having certain processes that only run at three certain times a day and, if you miss a cutoff, you are waiting 2-4 hours, if not to the next business day, to get things moved between test environments.

Way under - a few minutes at best and most correspondence is by email.

Zero

I’ve been incredibly suprised since Apple started giving me weekly screen times. I consider it a challenge to beat my previous weeks numbers.

All of it

Phone calls? 0 hours

Surfing TD? 3.50 hours, minimum.

As little as possible. I reply lightning fast to emails, and I reply via email to specific issues left in my voicemail instead of calling them back.. so it has "trained" most people to always email me first.

I will never understand calling someone to ask about something they need to be in front of a computer to answer. Especially calling them and then just leaving a VM that says "Hi, call me back. I have a question." and not giving the question.
